So I've had SA5 for a couple weeks and finally getting a handle on how to use it. But I'm still can't figure out how to make movies. I'v watched the tutorials and the book and still no luck.
Is the movie file mp4? When I bring the new source in, it just seems to be a pic not a movie. Just looking for some clarification and more of a step by step process. Thanks!

The movie file output from Studio Artist V5 is Quicktime. So a .mov movie file. Quicktime supports a wide variety of different compression codecs. So it could be a mp4 codec. Or it could be a lossless codec for high quality archive of an effect process that you then later compress for different output solutions. Or it could be an Apple ProRes codec. Etc.
Our tips site is a good place to go for getting started info.
You process a movie file in Studio Artist using a PASeq (paint action sequence). Here is a tip on how to do that.

It pays to put some thought into how to intelligently design a PASeq effect for movie file processing.
We have a multi-part tutorial about this movie processing strategies topic.

In Studio Artist terminology, a paint strategy is a series of different visual effect actions you combine together to create an overall complete visual effect.
The movie processing strategies tutorials try to help you get your head around generating temporal continuity in paint animations, which is useful if you want a real fluid looking visual effect in your movie processing.
Our knowledge base project blog has a lot of different posts on things you can do with movie file processing. If you click the AutoRotoscoping-Video EFX-Animation filter link at the top of the knowledge base, it will filter the articles and only present ones on that filter topic.

So that's a good beginning to getting started i think. Feel free to ask additional questions or ask for clarifications on topics here if you need more info.
